- Increased self-esteem and personal growth derived from successfully meeting new interpersonal and intellectual challenges.
- Acquired new skills and knowledge.
- Increased exposure to various work roles and career choices.
- Increased understanding of the relationship between school-based learning and work experience.
- Increased opportunities for high school students to explore areas of academic career or service interest.
- Development of positive relationships between the internship program, the school, and the community.
